Michael Rohde
Michael has been weaving fervently since 1973. Initially self-taught, he chooses to work with fiber because of the possible relationships that develop between subliminal texture and the interaction of light and color.
Visions, which are not possible in other media, can be addressed through a woven meduim . Weavings can become an embodiment of the freedom to explore how colors relate to each other and to the surface properties of the fibers used. Pure color and specific color combinations have the power to speak to each of us, often producing differing responses in each person. By limiting the vocabulary to color and weave, the works are better able to stimulate reactions and emotions that these raw color and spatial relationships can have with the viewer.
